| Some people ride the wave of generosity
|
| Some people ride the wave of mediocrity
|
| Me I ride the wave of never gonna drown
|
| Oh just fooling around
|
| Now I gots the balloons
|
| And you you gots the mud
|
| And me I gots the snail
|
| And you you gots the stuff
|
| Well you got so much more than I figure was in store
|
| Oh I ain’t foolin no more
|
| Now some people ride the cat when asleep or when awake
|
| Some people ride a cat for riding a cat’s sake
|
| Me I ride this cat cause its claws have got my eyes
|
| I’ll get 'em back in a few more tries
|
| Oh I’ll get 'em back in a few more tries
|
| Some people ride the books that tenderize their names
|
| Some people ride the books that bastardize our claims
|
| Me I ride the book that’s sifting in the sand
|
| Aw, some day I’ll understand
|
| Aw, some day I’ll understand
|
| Some people ride the songs that stay inside our souls
|
| Some people ride the songs that really ain’t songs at all
|
| Me I ride the song that ends right when it starts
|
| They’ll split before they part |
